but he says they don't believe news life historic peace deal in the middle east president trump says. israel of the united arab emirates happen to agree need a u.s. brokered plan to normalize relations the u.s. will recognize the jewish state in reserve in israel dropping its plans to alex parts of the palestinian west bank we'll take you live to washington and jerusalem also on the program peaceful defiance in the. capital thousands of people are around minutes before the minds of solidarity and protest police brutality this is

the 5th demonstration on president lukashenko has disputed election victory. i'm phil gal welcome to the program israel and the united arab emirates have announced that they have agree the historic peace deal under its terms the u.a.e. will recognize israel and establish diplomatic relations in return israel will drop its controversial plan to onyx parts of the palestinian west bank the u.a.e. says the deal is a win for diplomacy in the middle east the agreement was brokered by the united states just a few moments ago i was there a very special call with 2 friends prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel and crown prince mohammed bin. the united arab emirates where they agreed to file and see. historical peace agreement. everybody said this would be impossible. and

as you know mohammed is one of the great leaders of the middle east after 49 years israel and the united arab emirates will fully normalize their diplomatic relations they will exchange embassies and ambassadors and begin cooperation across the border and order a broad range of areas including tourism education health care trade and security. straight to washington that's where we joined the w.'s of bureau chief eunice pole welcome to this what will you tell us about this deal. right a this was really a surprising statement of mr trump saying that israel and the you you a will sign a string actually of bilateral agreements on investment tourism security technology and energy in other areas and that they also would set up embassies in

each other's nation. we don't know much more the only thing we know that this is happening just livid more than 80 days before the election and that donald trump would love to name this deal after himself so as you say the significant foreign policy success for the president with i mean actually inside. absolutely this would be a big foreign policy success and honestly the 1st one for this president in his tenure because the deal with north and south korea didn't come true and the middle east has been important for him all the way through some might remember that during the 2016 come pain he was promising to finalize a peace deal once he's in office but i think we also have to keep in mind that people here in the united states are not so much interested in international policies right now not as much as they want to be for the pandemic it is poll in

washington thank you now to jerusalem where we joined correspondent tanya credit welcomed time what does this deal win for the region. well it's certainly a major news development here tonight with different reactions and you know parts of the arab states but also for the palestinians very devastating news certainly for them in israel the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu headed in a 2 week doesn't historic day we are waiting to hear from him he's expected to speak shortly giving some more details other than what we have in this statement so for him it's a major foreign policy achievement he's very much embattled here back home so it's very important to him for this to go through and if it goes through it would be actually after egypt and jordan only the 3rd. country israel would establish

diplomatic relations and also the 1st state in the gulf that would do so with some analysts who would say that might be an opening to other developments so what we're hearing is this part of this israel dropping its plan to an except parts of the palestinian west bank presumably the palestinians are likely to look with favor. well i think it's rather the opposite and we've been hearing the one of the officials politicians here. in us ravi of all politicians saying that this is a reward actually for israel and its occupation since the beginning heard from islamist group hamas in gaza and other militant groups a call it a step in the back of the palestinian people now what's interesting to see is that the united arab emirates official staff have actually emphasized the fact that this

is actually that israel agreed to suspend an exaggeration possibly in a message to the palestinian but also to other arab nation but it will be very difficult for palestinians to accept. that an arab nation will make peace when the core issues of this conflict have not been solved. jerusalem thank you. we'll take a quick look now at some of the other stories making news around the world lebanon's parliament has approved a 2 week state of emergency for beirut in its 1st meeting you have to be. the 4th catastrophic explosion of grants the military broad powers such as prohibiting gatherings and declaring curfews protesters and rights groups fear it could lead to a crackdown on civil liberties. protesters in bulgaria have marched on the german embassy in the capital saffir calling on germany to use its presidency of the e.u.

that you might find distressing. a frantic wait these people are seeking news on their loved ones detained inside the cement detachment center. this man was released from custody and showed the injuries from beatings he claims he received from police officers. yeah. i didn't do anything illegal i was told to lie down and i did. they started beating me i didn't resist or do anything. then they took me to a police truck and beat me there as well. like. thousands have been arrested in the past few days of protests on wednesday hundreds of women stood arm in arm on the streets of meant protesting their government's crackdown on free speech following sunday's disputed election.

yeah i came here to support our better receiving people are women children are being killed and beaten up violated taken away we don't even know where they're taken but there must be some justice. that. it was videos like this one appearing to show jailed protesters being beaten in detention centers that i'm guard so many under pressure president lukashenko has pinned the unrest on a disgruntled unemployed rump. to sue would mean everyone who is unemployed currently has to be looked after they have to be offered a job the core of the so-called protesters are people with a criminal past and those who are unemployed. who would not be as little. these factory workers suggested otherwise. stand if

you voted for tikkun of sky the opposition leader a man shouts the room rose as one. elsewhere signs a trust in the system is running out of onlookers how this man escaped the clutches of police. that just outside years are paying attention to the u.s. says warren sanctions are on the table what the people of illinois to have the freedoms that they're demanding that they think are in their best interests. we watch the protests we we urge that these that the non violent protesters be protected not harmed. back on the streets the protests were more subdued on wednesday night go away they chanted no sign yet that this uprising has run its course. straight to

minsk then where we join journalist to honolulu baco welcome to t.w. let's start with the president's claim that protesters on the streets of criminals and unemployed you've been at today's protest or what did you see. well these are people from all walks of life basically this is you know these are the elderly women. man and this is a medical workers they cited professional they said professionals this is middle class so basically every social group is currently protesting and every social group is outraged by the brutal response from from the police and well it's very hard to find anyone who would not protest actually there are signs that parts of the adults i mean now. that state television are.

using to work anymore so they they leave their channels these pro-government stations also be have immense. and large numbers of. plants across the country that stop working and then they announced that they would go on strike as well so this is a popular uprising runs. the pictures that we've been seeing of these these people are wife in flowers and lining up it all looks very peaceful so how does the violence subsided. or human from this side of the police or yes. well i mean my hands roll yesterday or there was kind of a more quiet day i'd say but at the same time police where brutally this person people in some means neighborhood but also outside me so i wouldn't say that they just you know they stop the environment not at all it's just the amount of

information that appears and when the internet came back out great people so much that they kind of something so also there were a lot of people prominent public figures who demanded violence to be stopped and also it's very hard to live on and against women you know hundreds and thousands of women who are protesting across the country and there are sometimes no shields and alone similar to the streets and i guess that's why there is less smile and the moment but nevertheless there are numerous reports across the country that rightfully specially in the force a patrol just beat people on street random citizens on a personal note how difficult is it to be a journalist in belarus in this climate. oh it is very hard the program is that nothing can protect he is a journalist atheist they like if you are separated from the crowd and if you play with some ideas that i did to cation signs you will not betray todays
